Ben Haggard

The advertisement was for Ben Haggard but the show was equal parts Ben and his brother (Merle?). Ben has a great voice and respectable guitar ability but this brother, while accompanying Ben on rhythm guitar sang every other song and was far below his younger brother's abilities. My suggestion is for Ben to sing ALL the songs, get a band and start working on other songs to complement his famous fathers' work. Perhaps solo gigs at smaller venues would better suit Ben.

II am glad I had the opportunity to see Ben Haggard. He has a strong voice which is very similar to his Dads', but has its own distinctive qualities. His quitar playing is excellent, and there was a good choice of songs. I believe he needs strength in the area of "stage presence" and being an "entertainer". He needs to "take the bull by the horns", use his talent, and come out strong. Noel has a good voice, also. He should sing and do stand-up comedy with another artist, who also plays. {Remember the Smothers Brothers?)

Ben and Noel were awesome! Ben reminds me Chet Adkins on guitar. Thanks guys for a great evening!!

Awesome time. Two haggard brothers playing covers of their dad. Very intimate setting. Great time.
